CHAPTER 27

We came back to the office after we had lunch. While sitting on my swivel and having the view outside from our building. Dad calls me and asks me to go to his office.
"Oh, you're here." He said with a smile.
"Yes, why?" I asked while wondering. I feel weird. He is in a good mood even though he looks tired from work.
"We will be having dinner, with Daile's family. After my work, you will come with me, and let's meet his family." He announced and turned back on his work with a smile plastered on his face.
I just looked at him and was confused. Dinner again? How many times have we had dinner. What to talk about? Business? I don't know what's going on. I'm tired ... tss
I did a retouch and compose myself. I ride in Dad's car and our driver brings us to the nearest restaurant in the office. I don't know if Mom is here, but I hope she's here. I'm comfortable when she's beside me, I'm feeling safe.
We quickly went inside, I don't know but I felt different. As we walk and I see Daile. I recall my dream about him from the past few days. I promised myself that I would never get close to Daile again. But why is my family doing this, I just want to let you know our real situation to stop it.
From my position, I smiled when I saw Mommy there, I quickly approached her and kissed her on the cheek. I stepped aside and she immediately asked me a question.
"How's work? I heard you visit some site with the engineers and business partners."
I nodded. "Yes, it went well," I answer even though I'm not comfortable.
Dad sits beside me too, so I'm already in their midst. While they were in front of us, Daile. Ill can't look at them for long.
"Good evening everyone." Courtesy of Daddy.
All of us greeted each other. They were equally smiling unlike Daile and me who both had a serious aura.
"Let's eat first before we announced something." Mommy's Daile said.
I was swallowed because of fear, I was just shaken and ate. Every bite of food makes me wonder, what they will go to announce. As I ate, Daile and I met eyes. He looks more serious, I don’t even know what’s running through his mind. I drank wine and did not mind him preparing for what they would announce.
Daile's dad looks at me and smiles. I don’t dare to smile back so I just looked before turning to Mommy who was just focused on the wine.
"So let's begin." It's Dad 
We gave our attention to him and he started to say something.
"So, we are planning to merge some projects our company to the Stellar Corporation. Since then, it hard to manage it alone. We have to gain more knowledge and partnerships from other countries too. "He paused and looks at Daile's dad.
Daile's dad continues, "So, my son Daile and you Moriya. We want to send the two of you abroad to get a partnership and to attend some business seminars that will help our companies big time."
I don't know how to react and just kept listening to them.
"Uhm, Moriya you will be a representative of our company and it's nice you can have a bond with Daile there." Mom said cheerfully.
"I remember you want to go abroad, this is your chance," Dad said which made my ears ring even more. His tone of voice was different as if he was teasing.
What bond? I am not going to have a good time there with Daile. We are not friends anymore and I'm not planning to be his lover. We have already ended up our connection. And if I am agreeing to this, I will make sure that it is all about business.
"Are you guys going to help us?" Dad asked and give us a look.
"My son already agreed, we are just waiting for Moriya." Daile's mom muttered.
‘At once they looked at me and waited for me to answer.
I didn't take long to answer, because I wanted to go home. Whatever they want, for now, I will let it happen. I don't want companies to go bankrupt. Because after all, Dad and Mom worked hard for that. They are so hardworking, and it's a pity that they worked so hard if they lose it just because of me.
"Yes, I am willing to do that," I said and give a small smile.
Our families shake hands and they look so happy. We drove back to our house and suddenly I feel Peacefulness and it is in my room.
"What ?!" Charrie said in a slightly high-pitched voice.
"Yes, a business trip I guess. I still don't know where." I answered while talking to her on the phone. I just finished my driving lesson and I also fixed my paper to get a driver's license when she called to say hello to me.
"You should know where and how long it will take for me to come to you and we can roam where." She suggested, making me smile. This woman is very reliable.
"Oh yeah, I'll update you. What are you doing right now?" I asked, remembering her posts. She is enjoying it.
"Uh, I am attending some seminars in art school. I am assistant there, I help fine art students about arts." She said lively. 
I was amazed to hear that, I wanted to too. To express my knowledge and to share it too.
"I guess, I can join you." I'm sorry to say.
I heard her laugh, "If it's possible, why not."
We talk a bit more and end the call after. I need to go to work. I know I have nothing to do today, but I have to go to the office to decorate my office. There is no art in there, it's plain.
I checked online on some small yet classy furniture inside my office. I also bought plants, and the deliveries will be made on the next day.
I also brought my two small paintings to the office to hang on the wall. It gives life to the white plain wall. After I did all of those, I decided to open my laptop when my secretary said that she sent me the information about the business trip.
I immediately check the email and I found out we will have the partnerships and seminars in Singapore and it will take five business days. They also, give us two days to enjoy the country. I check a lot of stuff too before back to reality that I am with Daile for about five days.
